Kuala Lumpur: School bus operators in the country can breathe a sigh of relief as schools are expected to reopen in stages beginning March 1.
While initially only involving primary students, this is enough to give them hope to rise again after a prolonged dark period since the world was afflicted with the Covid-19 pandemic early last year.
Federation of School Bus Associations Malaysia president Amali Munif Rahmat said the sector has long suffered since the Movement Control Order (MCO) was first implemented last year, forcing school sessions to be deferred.
